/** @file
  This file declares a type and two functions and defines several
  macros, for handling various signals (conditions that may be reported during
  program execution).

    For historical reasons; programs expect signal to be declared
    in <sys/signal.h>.  The signal function is documented in <sys/signal.h>.

    The signal function is declared in the C Standard as:<BR>
    void (*signal(int sig, void (*func)(int)))(int);

    The EDK II implementation of the library or base firmware does not generate
    any of these signals, except as a result of explicit calls to the raise function.
